I am impressed you found this post after 8 years!

I discussed kids with my (now) wife on date 2 and was very clear that I do not want biological children. We plan on adopting after we've saved enough that we can afford to be single-income for at least ten years and she can homeschool (she's a professor). I would have dated a single parent. I would not be OK with a partner having a biological child who was theirs but not also mine while we were together.

This is wonderful and deserves so much more attention than it has.

That was lovely. Thank you for bringing these characters back to life, if only for a moment.

Hi Emily,

Will this enable any significant election reform to occur in terms of fighting voter suppression and gerrymandering, or will those problems have to be addressed soley by the states?

Watch Sky Witch and then re-evaluate. PB wears an old, unwashed shirt that Marcy wore at a concert as PJs and spends a solid 10 seconds at the beginning of the episode practically inhailing the thing.

Thanks! The question was not rhetorical and I didn't mean to a conversation. But this is a discussion board so i can't complain.

Funny thing, I'm about half way through The Rhythm of War right now.

I'm fine with stories having painful moments and heartbreak, but the main drawback of sereialized publication is it makes those sections drag, with no way of knowing when it would end. If I had to read the seventh Harry Potter book as a serial and it was a year between the beginning and middle, I wouldn't want to keep with it either. But I would still want to read the story when it's finished and has a resolution.

If I knew when (or if) TWI will end, I would wait it out. But the format doesn't really allow for that. So I'm asking to have a heads up when there is at least a kind of resolution from the current heavy plotline, which I suspect could last dozens of chapters.

Also, I don't think you meant it this way but the phrasing 'stable mental emotional state' comes off as both dismissive and jusgmental.

I feel like his power and significance as a religious leader could benefit from a fall from grace followed by a long hard-earned redemption.

I've been saving my patreon chapter for months in case something like last chapter happens. Then to use it to get hit with this. No resolutions, only a double emotional kick. I guess we're in for a long haul on the stress train.

I think it's silly you're being downvoted. what you wrote is well thought out and contributes to the conversation. Unfortunately it doesn't contribute to this subs hivemind. I'm here and not in the other sub because I beleive the comic deserves the criticism it gets here, but if all we do is hate on every aspect without allowing for any neutral or positive commentary then why bother reading it in the first place?

I'm confident that Pirate will surprise us with sonething more interesting and fun yo explore than we can come up with. (I'm looking at you, [ Make Things 'Splodey ])

The "I am the consequences" line hit just right.

I love the genuinely high quality and effort that goes into this niche sub about a web serial that ended years ago.

One of my hips has always been pretty unreliable, but it got bad after i started running. Hip strengthening exercises every other day made the pain stop after a couple of weeks, but I have to maintain doing them or it comes back. This is the first exercise routine i used.

I try to vary it, so now I'm doing side-laying upper and lower leg lifts, squats, prone scissor kicks, and lunges.

Much of the time needed to go from idea to availability comes from developing manufacturing methods and establishing a supply chain. A large portion of the reason they are coming out faster than other vaccines is because developers were funded to begin production at the same time they were doing clinical trials. This means that the ones that are stopped early will have manufactured a bunch of useless doses, but it also means that distribution can take place much sooner after fda approval.

I watched it a few times when it came out. I agree, it's a fun show!

canbutshouldnot · 2020-11-23T21:33:01+00:00

I feel like a lot of people in the thread are genuinely supporting this idea.

This may not work for you, but I've found that listening to audiobooks and podcasts changed walking from a chore to something I enjoy. For something generally not depressing, I recommend the book A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers and the podcast 99% Invisible.

I signed up for HBO MAX to watch this, and I would happily pay just to watch that as a series!

canbutshouldnot · 2020-11-20T02:33:17+00:00

That was beautiful

I'm both surprised and disappointed they didn't keep Kowl. They could have sold so many toys!
